He described the night as a consensual, Ecstasy-fueled threesome. She described it as a sexual assault. Reed College agreed with the female student’s version of the events, in which she said she was coerced into having the encounter, and kicked the male student off campus. Now he’s suing the college, alleging that Reed engaged in “a series of arbitrary, discriminatory and illegal actions” to ensure a predetermined outcome: his expulsion. Because the alleged assault took place during a threesome, the encounter has a built-in witness for the accused, the lawsuit states. The third member of the coterie, who was also a woman, told the college that the accuser was both “fully aware” of her surroundings and “totally into it.” Reed ignored this testimony, the accused student argues, and expelled him anyway.
